Emptiness — The Structural Power of Religious Absence (Audio)

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.This episode explores Emptiness by John Corrigan as a systems-level analysis of how narratives of absence shape religious identity, institutional authority, and territorial imagination.By focusing on incentive structures rather than personal intention, the episode shows how defining emptiness allows institutions to generate both anxiety and belonging — a pattern that persists across time and contexts.📺 Watch the Deep Dive and Mini Explainer on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/NaDc86U6bxo🎉 Apple Podcasts:👉 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crisis-in-perception/id1876160176❤️ Support Crisis in Perception on Patreon:👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/emptiness-as-150632944?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkAuthor SupportIf these ideas resonate, consider reading the book yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
